On 4 August, ALC joined Blueprint Ministries (LCA SA/NT District) at Cornerstone College’s Career Expo. With invitations sent to 25 neighbouring schools in the Adelaide Hills and south-eastern suburbs, approximately 650 people attended the event. Being at an event of this size allowed both ALC and Blueprint Ministries to have conversations with both students and their families about career and volunteer pathways within the Lutheran Church.

This sort of promotion is essential if we are to prepare the next generation for roles in congregations, schools and church departments.

Staff from ALC have been attending this event since 2014 during which time they have partnered with a number of Lutheran entities including the LCA's Church Worker Support department, to promote service in the church.

We wish Paul Ridley many blessings and joy for his upcoming ordination on Sunday! ✝️

🎉 We rejoice with Paul Ridley as he prepares for his ordination as a General Ministry Pastor on Sunday 30 August at St Petri Lutheran Church.

🙏📖 Loving God, we give you thanks for Paul and for the journey of faith you have led him on.

May he remain grounded in your Word and trust in your guidance as he faithfully serves you and your people. Amen.

On 7 August, art enthusiasts gathered at ALC Library to hear artist Helen Sherriff share the stories behind her work as part of the SALA Festival.

Helen took guests on a journey through her more than 50-year career, reflecting on the inspiration, faith, family connections, and personal experiences that have shaped her artistic practice. Her discussion offered a fascinating look at the creative process behind each piece.

If you missed the talk, there's still time to experience Helen's work firsthand. Her exhibition remains on display at ALC Library throughout August, showcasing a diverse collection of artworks that breathe new life into everyday objects and celebrate both faith and nature.

🎨 We invite you to visit and discover the stories for yourself.
